Realme: Create a Folder on the Home Screen

When your home screen fills up with icons on your Realme phone, related apps get scattered and take longer to find, whether the app drawer is turned on or off. Grouping apps into a folder keeps the layout readable without deleting or hiding anything. Realme UI lets you build a folder directly on the home screen with a simple drag gesture, no extra menu required.

Create a Folder on the Home Screen auf Realme

On a Realme phone, folders group apps directly on the home screen so icons stop competing for space. This works the same whether all your apps sit on the home screens or whether the app drawer is enabled, since folder creation happens on the home screen layer, not inside the drawer.

The classic method uses a drag gesture. Tap and hold an App until it lifts off the grid, then Drag the App onto another app icon you want to group it with. Release the App to create a Folder, and Realme UI automatically places both apps inside a new folder bubble.

Once the folder exists, you can drag additional apps onto it the same way to add more items. Tapping the folder opens it so you can rename it or rearrange the apps inside.

This drag-based method is quicker than digging through settings menus, since there is no dedicated folder menu to open first. If you only want to declutter without merging icons, moving unused apps into the app drawer or a secondary home screen is often the simpler fix instead of building a folder.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Folder creation happens on the home screen itself, so it works identically whether the app drawer is on or off. You still Tap and hold an App, Drag the App onto another, and Release the App to create a Folder.
